The wheight

[Guest guest]

The weight of worries hanging on our bonesThe weight of flesh sitting

on the throneThe weight of errors leading us astrayThe weight of

action sending us to hell The weight of sunlight shining on the

floorThe weight of music entering our earsThe weight of your voice

coming through the phoneThe weight of ligthening in a thunderstorm

The weight of recognizing as the story’s toldThe weight of knowledge,

being and the heart of gold

One force Large and dark is pulling downIt can destroy us allIts

name is:Gravity of darkness Another force like a streamIts direction

is upIt is the reason of existenseIts name is:Essence of knowledge If

each of usin our progressionproduce the preciousintuitive ideas.Its

flow is kept unbroken

 

 

 

 

 

 

St.Halvard. 1020 -1043 was the son of Vebjørn Huseby in Lier,

Norway.One day he met a pregnant woman followed by robbers.He wanted

to save her and took her into a boat to cross the fjord.The followers

managed to kill them with arrows. They threw him into thefjord with a

millstone on his neck.Later he surfaced together with the stone.

 

 

 

 

Angarika Govinda:Out of the 121 classes of consciousness which are

discussed in Buddistpsycology, sixty-three are accompanied by joy and

only three are painful,while the remaining fifty-five classes are

indifferent. A strongerrefutation of pessimism than this statement is

hardly possible.How deluded is man , that he mainly dwells in these

three states ofconciousness, though there are overwhelmingly more

possibilitys ofhappiness! But what a perspective this knowledge opens

to those who striveearnestly, what an incentive even to the weak!The

more man progresses, the more more radiant and joyful will be

hisconsciousness.Happiness indeed may be called a characteristic of

progress.In the course of its development it becomes more and more

sublime, until itgrows into that serenity which radiates from the

face of the Enlightened One,with that subtle smile in which wisdom,

compassion, and all-embracing loveare mingled..From : The

Psycological Attitude of Early Buddhist Philosophy p. 63
